| Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Pará class
monitors were a group of six wooden-hulled ironclads named after
Brazilian states and built in Brazil for the Brazilian Navy during the
War of the Triple Alliance in the late 1860s. The first three ships
finished, Pará, Alagoas and Rio Grande, participated in the Passagem de
Humaitá in February 1868. Afterwards the remaining ships joined the
first three and they all provided fire support for the army for the rest
of the war. The ships were split between the newly formed Upper Uruguay
(Portuguese: Alto Uruguai) and Mato Grosso Flotillas after the war.
Alagoas was transferred to Rio de Janeiro in the 1890s and participated
in the Fleet Revolt of 1893-94. The monitor configuration was chosen as
a turreted design did not have the same problems engaging enemy ships
and fortifications as did the central battery ironclads already in
Brazilian service. |
